"even trivial edits are normally improvements" - Sure, of course, but badge-worthy apart from the edit badges?

@ChristianRau I think these badges will encourage a positive behaviour for all users of the site. Some people will try to game the system, but that's always the case. We have that already for the edit badges. But I'm convinced that the site will be a better place due to this kind of incentive.

It's not so much about gaming the system, but about the question if we need another pack of badges that basically reward and motivate exactly the same bevahiour as the existing edit badges already do (well, apart from posting an answer in addition to editing, which to me seems rather unconnected to editiing anyway)
